I might possibly get these rims this weekend. Getting a deal for the rims and toyo tires for $1100 installed. Was wondering what size tire to go with. They recommended 225/40/18, need advice on what looks the best with a eibach sportline drop and what WONT bend the rim on a pothole. Also need to know what offset (comes in +25,+35,+45) to make it look flush with the fender. THANKS!

19X8.5 19x10 +35 +45 should do it.. If your going 18x8 +35 is good but wheels real look small if you get lo pro tires.

those rims only come in 18x8, are the tires im getting low profile? will the 225/40/18 look funny?

assuming you have a 08 and up accord you do not want to go less than 225x45x18. If you have an 07 and earlier that may be ok. You should get offsets +45 and up. I have Oz botticelli 18x8 on an 08 accord sedan with 225 45 tires. Looks good. plus you have more choices than you do with a 235 tire. You can also go with 245x40x18 again assuming you have an 08 and up accord. good luck

If you go +45 for offset your wheels will look sunken in and very small. I would advise you to look around for bigger sizes like 19's or 20's because they tend to fill up the 8th Gen wheel wells the best. JMO.

18" are okay...it all depends on what your looking for... id pick tires that stay close to your oem wheel size... use the tire calculator.

also 20" are nice but sometimes they can be a bitch to balance and keep them balanced...thats with cheap made wheels.. 19" are nice but tires and options are limited and very expensive.


a +35 or +45 will work. the +35 will stick out and look really flush. plus a +35 rims is eaiser to sell down the road as they can fit more cars that take a +35..GL

my + 48 look pretty good to me and come pretty close to maintaining stock geometry. I am more interested in ride and handling, you will lose some ride quality with 20's it is all a matter of personal preference. 19's with 245 - 40's might be a decent compromise.
